Clippers Vs. Celtics Official Game Thread 2014-01-08

Celtics-Clippers Preview
By KEVIN CHROUST
Posted Jan 08 2014 2:56AM
The Los Angeles Clippers are coming off one of their best defensive performances of the season. The Boston Celtics are not.
The more upbeat of the two will go for their fourth win in five games Wednesday night at home as Clippers coach Doc Rivers looks to beat his former team for the second time this season.
The Clippers (24-13) held Orlando to 35.7 percent shooting in a 101-81 home win on Monday, their second game without star point guard Chris Paul.
"You couldn't really ask for a better game from a lot of guys tonight,"....

I hope Clippers come out with the same defensive and aggressive mindset as they did last game. They should win this one.

NEver ever say anything is easy for the Clippers. The easier it should be,the harder they make it on themselves. Based on the lineups of both teams,on paper,we win (as i think we will). But they play on wood floors, not paper.

Take 'em out ,Go Clippers.

Great, I want our team to be as healthy as possible so we can demolish the Lakers. We need revenge for opening night.

I'm so glad GSW lost and messed up their winning streak. Clippers gotta win this game to stay ahead.

I want Blake to really take ownership of this team while CP3 is down. Start dominating.

I like this version of Collison. Hope he can play like this when Paul gets back. Can't wait until Redick and Bullock come back!

Not sure I like the sideline reporter taking sides on which SG should start when JJ comes back! It wasn't "broken" before JJ went down either. Anyway, I LOVE what I'm seeing right now!

Dam I love it when our players hustle but sometimes I don't want them to go overboard. If DJ or BG gets injured were screwd.

I remember when people were ragging on Odom so hard last season due to his offensive ineptitude. Right now Odom would be 2x better than any of the backup bigs on our bench.... So sad.

Oh lord, this is why we need a guy like JC off the bench. We're playing good D but nobody can score.

Olinik throws a runner over the back board, then air balls a 3...hmmm maybe someone should tell him how high the rim is.

CP is really working hard as a coach, jumping up off his chair as soon as timeout was called. Lol He was already there with Doc to round up the guys.

Jamal just can not buy a foul, on a drive to the basket or now. Time out called 1st.

If he misses that many shots he should get the memo to stop shooting at 0-4. And hopefully he gets some nice backdoor layups mixed in there for easy points

Wonder if he is interested in coaching. Would probably be better than Kidd at least.
